1. TOM KELLY Transformational CFO/CIO and Cloud Expert

Minneapolis, MN
SUMMARY
EXPERIENCE
My background, while extensive, isn`t traditional. As a native New Yorker I went down south to play baseball and obtain an accounting degree from NC State.
After two years in public accounting I joined a premier finance and marketing company – PepsiCo. It was there that I embraced and honed my skills in finance, technology, human resources, operations and marketing and found my passion for improving business and making things better no matter how big or small.
An early adopter, and now expert on leveraging the Cloud, I use my leadership and transformation skills to turn strategy and vision into reality.
